h3%5kr3w Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 dude... Please tell me your having a problem in vmware settings for wireless.. Backtrack or any other OS as a VM only needs to use the ethernet network as setup per vmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfusion Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have done other OS in vmware and they all work fine its only Backtrack that wants to give me a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 oh... my bad. um.... do this: (I hate setting up wifi/internet in backtrack) iwconfig -A see if it shows your wifi *may be shown as ath0* If it shows it do this: sudo dhcpd3 wlan0 start *or replace wlan0 with whatever your wifi card is* it may also be necessary to do this: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up if your using backtrack 4, then dhcpd3 is not the right command. Just type dhcp<tab> and see what it gives you and it's something close to it I believe. Havent really messed with it in awhile, but wicd sucks sometimes at seeing my wifi card. hope this helps, and sry bout the last post. I need to start being more helpful, just didnt know if you were a bot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
